A full list of store closures is available on the Lowe's Canada website. Overall, nine stores in Ontario are shutting down, as well as nine in Quebec, six in Newfoundland and Labrador, two in Alberta and one in British Columbia.

The company will also close 20 stores in the United States, as well as their regional support centres in Mississauga and St. John's, a truss plant in St. John's and a block plant in Kamloops.
